Trump Signs Executive Order Creating Incentives for <br />Police Departments President Donald Trump signed <br />the order on Tuesday, which <br />will create a database to <br />track police misconduct. The administration’s order rejects nationwide <br />calls to “defund the police,” which would <br />reallocate police budgets to other departments. Police departments will instead <br />receive federal grant money for <br />updating their standards on <br />training and credentialing. The order will also give departments <br />incentives for utilizing professional <br />workers, such as social workers, <br />for nonviolent issues. The action comes as lawmakers <br />push for police reform in light of the <br />killing of George Floyd while in police custody.
